Andy Murray gets straight to the point

ANDY MURRAY was shunted off Centre Court - but his Wimbledon dream remains bang on track.

The decision to move the world No 4 to Court One from the security of the covered Centre Court could have been the stuff of nightmares.

Rain did fall at SW19, forcing Murray to kick his heels in the locker room for two hours.spacer

But when it eventually disappeared for good and play finally got underway the British No 1 ensured the sun started to shine once more on his charge for the ultimate prize.

There was not anything supremely spectacular about his 6-3 6-3 7-5 win over German Tobias Kamke.

But there were plenty of ding-dong rallies for the patient punters to enjoy.

World No 83 Kamke gave the ball a real crack at times and had Murray, 24, scampering around all over the place.

But the Scot more than had enough quality to see off the German in three minutes short of two hours to seal a third-round clash with Croat Ivan Ljubicic tomorrow.

From now on in, Murray will almost certainly be guaranteed centre stage at SW19 but he said: "It doesn't bother me too much if I am not on Centre.

"I think all of the players would rather be there because of the roof so you know you're going to get on.

"You know, it's a little bit different in terms of how it looks, because with the roof it feels very enclosed, whereas Court One seems quite open.

"But I don't mind playing on any court - Centre, Court One, Court Six, I don't care. I just want to try and win."

Murray has never lost at this stage at the All England club. And that record never really looked like being broken here.

Kamke, 25, was broken in his very first service game and although he battled hard, when it came to the business end of the set, Murray just powered through the gears.

It was the same story in the second and although the final set was closer, as soon as the Brit broke at 5-5 that was it.

Murray added: "I didn't think I played that well, but I didn't get broken. I served well, especially when I was behind in games.

"It was quite windy which made it tricky and I thought he hit the ball very well from the back of the court.

"I could have returned a little bit better. I felt like I was a little upright, I didn't move that well. But it was straight sets, so I've got to be pleased with that. I have got to improve for the next match, though."

So Murray moves on with minimum fuss. There has not been too much grunting, growling and dodgy body language yet. Tougher tests await though, starting with Ljubicic.

That will not be easy - their head-to-head record stands at 3-3. But all the signs right now are looking pretty darn good.

The dream is well and truly alive.
